Septo-optic dysplasia also referred to as de Morsier syndrome and is a disorder of early brain development. Three characteristic features are under development (hypoplasia) of the optic nerve, abnormal formation of structures along the midline of the brain (such as absence of septum pellucidum and corpus callosum dysgenesis) and pituitary hypoplasia. CASE REPORT Female, born at 40 weeks of gest...

Septo-optic dysplasia (or de Morsier syndrome) is a congenital disorder characterised by anomalies in cerebral midline structures, optic nerve hypoplasia, and hormonal deficiencies. Diagnosis should be made early, due to the possibility of treating the hormonal disturbances. We describe here a case with decreased visual acuity, one-sided hemianopia, nystagmus und agenesis of the septum pellucid...

Introduction Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (CT), also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is a reversible syndrome that usually presents an acute coronary syndrome, especially in postmenopausal women. The pathophysiology involves multiple factors, including vasospasm, microcirculation dysfunction, catecholaminergic aggression, and sympathetic hyperactivity. diagnosis of the classic presentation ...

The Cholinergic and GABAergic fibers of the medial septal/diagonal band of Broca (MS/ DB) area project to the hippocampus and constitute the septo-hippocampal pathway, which has been proven to play a role in learning and memory. In addition, the hippocampus has bidirectional connections with the septum so that to self-regulate of cholinergic input. The activity of septal and hippocampal neurons...

Septo-Optic Dysplasia (SOD) is a rare disorder with postulated genetic and environmental etiology. Whilst initially considered as a very rare disease (defined as incidence of approx. 1 in 50,000 births) recent data gave a reported incidence of 1 in 10,000, with equal sex distribution. The diagnosis of SOD is predominantly a clinical one, and made with the presence of two or more features of the...
